The international smash-hit musical SIX will return to U.K. stages this summer at festival-style in open air sites, with audiences attending while being stationed in their own vehicles.
This marks the first West End musical to perform since the COVID-19 pandemic shut down theatres around the world. According to Playbill the plan marks a collaboration with Utilita Live From the Drive-In, a program from Live Nation ensuring live performances can go on in some capacity in accordance with government guidance and restrictions. Audiences will drive their vehicles to designated spots, where they will be able to set up a socially distanced private area to watch.
The musical will play multiple performances in 12 open spaces across the country, with each venue equipped to accommodate about 300 vehicles (limit seven people per vehicle). Tickets for the drive-in presentations will go on sale July 3 at LiveNation.co.uk. See below for the full schedule.
